DALLAS, Aug. 12 TX-Repair-Stem-Cell
DALLAS, Aug. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- To protect potential patients from being
unwitting victims in the proliferation of less than competent therapeutics,
the Repair Stem Cell Institute LLC (RSCI) (http://www.RepairStemCells.org) and
its Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) today announced the establishment of the
industry's first standards of excellence for Repair Stem Cells(TM) (RSC)
treatment centers worldwide who are using RSC, also known as Adult Stem Cells.
Among the critical ethical criteria, which are required for facilities to be
qualified for the RSCI's list of top treatment centers, are licensing and
certification of the treating doctors by their country's medical professional
regulatory board.
According to Don Margolis (don@repairstemcells.org; 214-556-6377), founder
and chairman of the RSCI, "Regrettably, there is a wave of offshore
commercially available less-than-competent stem cell therapeutic
practitioners. Their bogus, unwanted extravagant claims, which tout the
potential of their stem cell wonder tonics, are hurting the image of the
scientifically honest treatment centers that are truly helping people with
more than 100 medical conditions.
"It's the responsibility of the RSCI and members of our SAB to establish
the industry's first standards of excellence at the highest level for RSC
treatment centers worldwide to meet and abide by," Mr. Margolis said. "We
must assure people seeking life-changing stem cell therapies that they can
expect to receive the best quality therapeutics from the facilities they
diligently research."
Along with licensing and certification, the RSCI stipulates stem cell
treatment centers must have a successful record of treating patients with RSC
for a minimum of six months. The RSC must be either autologous (from the body
of the patient) or from umbilical cords. Any other source must be clearly
labeled "experimental" until there is a completed successful clinical trial
using the experimental source of cells for the disease(s) being treated by the
treatment center. Also, the laboratory supplying the stem cells to the
treatment center must meet at least minimum recognized current Good
Manufacturing Procedure (cGMP) standards. That same laboratory must have over
100 successful RSC human implants to its credit. ("Successful" means having
clearly improved the patient's quality of life.) For a complete listing of
